As noted, The Dudley Boyz retirement on Monday night’s ediition of WWE RAW was not part of a storyline, and was in fact the real deal. The fact that they were attacked by The Club (see above) was simply a case of the legendary tag-team “doing the honors” on the way out.

Following their retirement announcement, a number of WWE Superstars and personalities took to social media to react to the big announcement. Below are some of the tweets and videos posted regarding the retirement of The Dudley Boyz, starting with comments from Bubba Ray and D-Von themselves.

Our work here is done. THANK YOU to @WWE @WWEUniverse and "the boys". Was our pleasure to see all of you again. See ya down the road. #RAW
